Coconut cream is magical in what it can do. I love it in this vegan chocolate cream pudding, too! It makes things so thick and creamy.

coconut cream – the creamy white stuff in canned coconut milk (don’t get low fat coconut milk, it won’t have the cream)
mashed sweetpotato
pineapple (fresh or canned both work)
honey
lime juice
popsicle molds (I used these silicone ones)

These coconut milk popsicles for toddlers are a great, whole foods-based snack. You could even turn them into a toddler smoothie!

They are filling, thanks to the coconut cream, which provides the necessary fat for growing brains.

From 9-12 months, my youngest thrived on these during the summer (we omitted the honey) and my favorite sweetpotato spinach baby food.

These are the best popsicles for toddlers (among my favorite healthy homemade toddler snacks), and I also love this as a baby popsicle recipe (after they turn 1), since it does have honey.

However if you wanted to serve it before then, you could substitute the honey for maple syrup or leave it out completely.

FAQ and Tips

Can babies eat creamy coconut popsicles?

Babies under age 1 can not have honey, so if you’re serving to babies, omit the honey. The texture is great for babies, especially those who are teething! The coconut cream also provides essential fat.

How long are pineapple coconut popsicles good for?

Many storebought popsicles will last 6-8 months. Since these are homemade, I would use them within 3-4 months.

Other toppings, add-in’s, modifications?

You can always switch the coconut milk to almond or dairy milk, however, it may not be as creamy. Not a sweetpotato fan? You can leave them out. You can also omit the honey, especially if serving to babies or you don’t have a sweet preference.

Some other fun add in’s we’ve tried:
– chia seeds
– hemp seeds
– coconut water
– orange juice

Can you substitute pumpkin for sweetpotato in these cream of coconut popsicles?

Yes, you can! You can even use mashed banana in place of the sweetpotato as well.
